Determining Planks Constant:

Q: What is the actual value of plancks constant?

Ans: 6.62607004 × 10−34 j/s

Q:What is objective of this Experiment?

Ans: (1)To verify The Photo Electric effect

(2)To measure Planks Constant

Q: In this experiment how we can measure the Planks constant?

Ans: By the Formula U/v =h/e where “U” is limiting voltage and v is the frequency and e is charge on an
electron.

Q: Why capicator is used in this experiment?

Ans: The capicator is used to generate the Anode voltage

Q:what type of capicator is used in this experiment?

Ans: 1 STE capacitor, 100 pF, 630 V .

Q:what is ghe focal length of the lens used in optical holder?

Ans: 1 Lens in holder, f = + 100 mm

Q:What is planks constant?

Ans: in 1905 by Albert Einstein. He postulated that light consists of a flux of particles, called photons,
whose energy E is proportional to the frequency: E = h ⋅ v here the proportionality factor “h” is known
as Planks constant?

Q:How the frequency of different lights can be measured by using their wavelength ?

Ans: by using v=c/v where c I speed of light

Q:write down any two precautions during this experiment?

Ans : The high pressure mercury lamp also emits light in the UV range, and can thus damage the eyes.
Never look into the direct or reflected beam of light from the high pressure mercury lamp.

Observe the Instruction Sheet for the high pressure mercury lamp

Q:Define Limiting Voltage?

Ans : The voltage at which the photoelectric current reaches precisely zero is called the limit voltage U0
Q: Which light filters and of what wavelength are used in this experiment?

Ans: Look In the data table of your lab Report

Q:The final graph is Draw between which two Variables?

Ans : Between the Limiting Voltage in Volts and The Frequency in Thz.

Q:on which factors the energy of electrons depends when they are irridiate with light?

Ans: Their energy depends on the frequency of the incident light, but not on the intensity; the
intensity only determines the number of liberated electrons.
